Make sure that the cold start cam and thermowax is working correctly. It is located on the rear of the throttle body and holds the throttle open during cold starts for that high 1500 RPM idle that then gradually drops down.

Adjust the TPS.

could also be that you're low on coolant or an air pocket in the cooling system

There's a thread that is somewhat related to this in the "Frequently asked Question's for 2nd Gen" thread.
